At any other point in the Northern Hemisphere, the angle between the horizon and the star will give the latitude.

Lines running east-west are called lines of latitude or parallels; those running north-south are called lines of longitude, or meridians. The intersection of latitude and longitude lines describes any point on the Earth’s surface.
